double in brass _ two decor pieces that are functional and could easily double as art pieces too

does brass seem to break copper's long-time

reign nowadays? guess so. i love them both tho.

and love both of these pieces too.

patchwork on the runway is no new thing.

just remember xuly bët from the '90s recycling

old jersey clothes and patching them

up into new ones.

some brands, like desigual for example

even have a patchworky style as

their signature one.

the above pics are from recent years

and the trend seems unstoppable, maybe because

it can convey so many moods from

elegant to hippy.

what i also like about this trend is that

it can be recreated at home too.

nice idea for a crafty weekend _ make a paper patchwork

making a paper patchwork like this one by 

elisabeth dunker of fine little day

must be a whole lot of fun!

these paper patches are first painted

with acrylic or gouache, and only after

having been painted are they cut to shape

and assembled.

girls, girls, girls in wsj. magazine

i like those wide-legged pants.

these cropped ones too.

nice chunky knits.

all-american combo: white blouse with jeans.

i really like the idea of these skirts.

one enough for two.

nice'n'big.
